Do you buy organic food?🥦🥑🍍🥥🍌 .
I think it’s better to pay the farmer now than to pay the doctor later. Yet organic food is not just about health. There are plenty of other reasons to CHOOSE ORGANIC:
*
Use of less toxins on Mother Earth - every chemical that is produced goes back into the cycle. ♻️ Pesticides don’t just disappear but enter our bodies and the soil. .
*
Eliminate the use of antibiotics in animal farming 🐓 (even better: don’t eat mass-produced animal products or no meat/dairy/eggs at all)
*
Organic farms have ~30% less greenhouse emissions .
*
Organic farming increases ~30% of species biodiversity compared to conventional farming
*
25% of the world’s insecticides are sprayed on non-organic cotton crops 👚 .
*
Organic food is non-GMO and free from artificial flavours & preservatives. .
*
Organic food is more nutritious and often tastes better. .

These are just some of the reasons to choose organic.
YES, it is more expensive. But should we really save money on our health and the wellbeing of our future generations?

TIP: Go to your local health food store and look for items on sale. You can also ask the farmer or shopkeeper for cheap seasonal produce. My health food store always has a special offer on a bunch of fruits & veggies. 🍏🍊🥦

🇩🇪 Geht ihr im Bioladen einkaufen? Ich liebe es dort zu stöbern und Angebote zu entdecken. Mein Bioladen in Düsseldorf hat sogar jede Woche saisonales Obst und Gemüse im Angebot - teilweise billiger als in Supermärkten. Man kann sich ja den aktuellen Angeboten anpassen und dann beim Kochen kreativ sein. Macht ihr das auch so? 🥦🥕🥬🍅🥔🍇🍊🍏

A truly incredible natural phenomenon; Rio Celeste is formed by two converged transparent rivers (Buena Vista & Quebrada Agria) which mix to create this stunning blue water. This colour change is due to the water containing aluminosilicate (aluminum mixed with silicon and oxygen). 💦💧💦 Interestingly, when scientists took samples, the water looked completely transparent. They found that the blue colouring is not a chemical phenomenon but rather optical, caused by the scattering of sunlight off the suspended mineral in the river. Furthermore, they found that although Buena Vista had this same mineral present, it did not reflect the same colour. Turns out that the size of the particles matter; in Rio Celeste they are 566nm, in comparison to 184nm in Buena Vista. 💙
